Mine is between YODA'S THEME and THRONE ROOM THEME.

Mine is "The Force Theme". My favorite rendition of it is in "Binary Sunset", BTW. Beautiful.... smile

Bill Murray's, by far.

The Emperor's theme.

"Emperor's Throne Room" from disc 2 of the 1997 special edition has my favorite passage. When the Emperor says "Your faith in your friends is yours" the theme swells behind the dialogue in this scene. Love it!

Pick just one theme? Is that even possible?! Yeah, probably The Force Theme, or Darth Vader's Theme, or Princess Leia's Theme...

Besides all the themes already mentioned...
I do find myself whistling "Luke And Leia" the most!

A shame it only appears in the actual film twice, then you have the end credits - and the concert presentation, but it is one of the greatest love themes John Williams has ever written!

I started to warm more to Luke and Leia when it was on By Request. It's funny, more than any other Star Wars theme that one (in the end credits) brings me back to my house in 1983. Locked solid in place and time.

My favorite use of L&L was the opening credits for the video game X-Wing Alliance!

Favorite theme? Good grief. What an embarrassment of riches! Um, Ben's theme? Han Solo and the Princess? Vader's Theme from Star Wars (not the Imperial March)? C'mon, the Imperial March is pretty terrific, right? Luke's theme is the gold standard as well, of course.

Star Wars was the movie that introduced me to the very concept of themes!

"Binary Sunset" for me too.

After that I do really enjoy McNeely's "Beggar's Canyon Chase".

I gotta go with The Asteroid Field from Empire. It's the perfect marriage of music and film, but is also an hugely exciting cue on its own. Perfect in every way.

if we are talking about all the Star Wars films' themes it has to be Imperial March.

The Asteroid Field is like Ben's Death and TIE Fighter Attack where I have almost no use for the concert arrangement. The more narrative heavy arrangements in the film are so perfect. They are the most amazing little nuggets of themes and story.

I was also thinking yesterday that as terrific as the pieces for the Hoth battle are, or even the end chases / duels in Empire, nothing can beat The Last Battle from Star Wars.

This might also be why I never include anything from the prequel trilogy: There are some fantastic themes but very few pieces that weave them all together like Williams did in Star Wars.

Yes, I mean all the STAR WARS films' themes.smileI love them all, it was hard for me to pick one.

These scores have themes?

 
 Posted:   May 24, 2017 - 5:20 PM   
 By:   SBD   (Member)

Either Rey's theme, the Imperial March or the Force theme. Oh, and "Duel of the Fates".

For me it has to be THE FORCE THEME (Jedi Theme,Throne Room,etc)...

It just strikes a cord with me.

Hi Ford! I like it too, I picked the THRONE ROOM because it includes THE FORCE THEME.smile

Force Theme, definitely.

For goodness' sake, the Main Titles (or Luke's Theme).

There are just so many... but my favorite is The Throne Room.

In a rare contradiction to my norm, I really LOVE the version in the end credits of ROTS on the soundtrack album. Normally, I prefer the film version/C&C but at the time we all thought that was the FINAL Star Wars movie and the addition of The Throne Room really gave me goosebumps.
